Surprisingly, the supermodel skinny Carol became a raw foodie during her early 30s after gaining unwanted weight.

“My journey started 17 years ago when a photographer came up to me at a photo shoot and said, ‘You’re not in swimsuit shape,’” recalled Alt.

Frustrated with her weight, Alt consulted a health expert, who advised her to eat as much raw vegetables, fruits, seared fish, cold-pressed oils and nuts as she wanted as long as it wasn’t heated over 115 degrees.

Carol Alt has barely aged during the past 30 years, thanks to a raw food diet, regular yoga workouts and a positive attitude.

The diet completely changed her life. The willowy 5-foot-11 Alt, who used to starve herself as a top model, now stays reed-thin without dieting, has barely aged during the past two decades, and rarely gets sick.

Alt said the raw-food diet also cured her chronic indigestion and sinus infections, Examiner reported. What’s more, Carol eats as much as she likes, is never hungry, and has off-the-charts energy. Food is no longer the enemy, but a means to great health.

“I look at every meal as a way to heal myself and be kind to my body,” said Alt. “Because raw food is so nutritionally dense, it’ll feed your body. A healthy diet is everything.”

Carol is not a proponent of low-fat diets, and insists that eating lots of essential fatty acids like cold-pressed olive oil and coconut oil prevents wrinkles, curbs hunger, and aids weight loss. She also does yoga and lots of stretching to keep her muscles limber.
